Forbidden valley! The queue for air never gets any shorter, so we get there before opening times with our prebooked tickets, and powerwalk to FV. Going on 15th may! Will probably go on RITA after that, by using the good old chairlift.

I'm still planning our school trip but i think FV first, go on everything there, then X-Sector, go on everything there, then just basically go on then randomly go on anything else that i might fancy going on problem is now i've got to plan with Ugland and Rita's massive queues

if i go to alton towers i stay with the hotel so i get to go into the prak 30 minutes before it opens so i go to forbiden vally and ride nemesis front row and air front row, althogh air front row is pointless becasue there isnt much difference becasue your facing the ground, lol

Forbidden valley - Air, Air, Nemesis, Nemesis (if I can)
cross valley path to
Ug Land - Rita, Rita (if I can), Corky, Corky, Ug Swinger, Hex
skyride to
Forbidden Valley - Air & Nemesis (via SRQs)
walk through Gloomy Wood to
Katanga Canyon - Runaway mine train, Runaway Mine train, Rapids
walk to
Merrie England - The Flume
walk to
Adventureland - Spinball Whizzer (usually SRQ)
lunch usually at Courtyard Tavern
then walk to
Ug Land - Rita (if possible), Corky
then walk to
X Sector - a nice cold bevvie or two in Rehydrator while watching and then riding - Oblivion, Oblivion, Enterprise, Oblivion (if I can)
then walk to Ugland (with a ride on Rita or Corky if possible) for the
skyride to
Forbidden Valley - Air (usually minimal queue at end of day) and always last - Nemesis

Some things never need change...

I always go to the X Sector first, but only because thats where we always head first! I only ever went on Oblivion once, and as i am scared of heights, it was a bad idea! I became best friends with one of the bins in X Sector that morning! :oops:

I used to go to FV to get a fastrak ticket first for Air and Nemmie,and then i'd go on everything in FV before my time was due.

For me it depends on what day i go. For instance if its a sunday i would head strait to FV and get Fast Tracks, go and ride air, nemesis then ripsaw twice.
But on the less crowded days i would go to XS or UL. :)
